With summer fast approaching, there are a number of upcoming athletic events which may be of interest to both adult and juvenile club members. Bear in mind that the athletics track in John O'Sullivan Park, Lees Road, is closed for maintenance from April for a number of months, so some events which normally take place there have switched to alternative venues.
